===Lecture Series Description===
+
===Course Description===
 +
In Spring 2015, we underwent an interesting and unusual experiment in our EE curriculum, where in an introductory control engineering course ([[EE-361]]) we exposed our undergraduate students to issues of environment and sustainability. Designed as a series of 50 min recitations, we exposed students to contextual and societal issues in water, agriculture, disease etc., even while the content has strong example-based connections to the main text. Large parts of the lectures are accessible to engineering students at the Junior / Sophomore level and to general science & engineering faculty.
-
Design of linear feedback control systems for command-following, disturbance rejection, stability, and dynamic response specifications. Root-locus and frequency response design (Bode) techniques. Nyquist stability criterion. Design of dynamic compensators. State-space methods. Digitization and computer implementation issues. Integrated laboratory exercises on practical applications of control.
